Chest Pain Awareness
Having Chest Pain & Symptoms? Call 911 – We'll bring Emergency Services to your home!
Heart attacks have beginnings. These beginnings occur in more than 50% of patients. Most importantly, if recognized in time, these “beginnings” can be treated before the heart is damaged!
Alarming Statistics
- Heart disease causes approximately 1 of 4 deaths in the United States.
- About 50% of sudden cardiac deaths occur outside a hospital. This suggests that many people don’t act on early warning signs.
- Survey results show that only 27% of the respondents were aware of all major symptoms and knew to call 911.
By sharing Early Heart Attack Education (EHAC), we can change these sobering statistics!

Early Heart Attack Care (EHAC)
Early Heart Attack Care (or EHAC) education teaches you to recognize the early signs and symptoms of a heart attack. Why? We want you to become an active bystander so you can save a life – even if it's yours.
- About 750,000 people in the U.S. have heart attacks each year. Of those, about 116,000 die.
- Many of these patients experienced early symptoms.
